 |                                                                       |
 |     Classic  serial  wavefolder  topology, with  additional  gain     |
 |     between each stage.  The added gain multiplies  the number of     |
 |     folds from the previous stage;  the total number of folds for     |
 |     each stage  is then (3^n)-1, or  2, 8, and 26  folds for each     |
 |     stage, respectively.                                              |
 |                                                                       |
 |     Additionally, this topology creates formant like behaviors at     |
 |     the 3rd stage output. As each stage has gain added, the slope     |
 |     of the resulting  wave will not only fold  over, but increase     |
 |     in  degree as  the input  voltage approaches  0. Formant-like     |
 |     tones  come out  as a  result,  though these  will always  be     |
 |     harmonically locked to the  input frequency. In practice, for     |
 |     example, it can  make a sawtooth wave sound a  lot like a car     |
 |     engine.                                                           |

 |     This module  was designed  for applying nonlinear  control to     |
 |     CV  inputs,  as  well  as an  extreme  distortion  unit.  The     |
 |     folding behavior creates differently  spaced deadzones in the     |
 |     voltage transfer function, resulting  in a gated-fuzz at some     |
 |     settings, and high-gain distortion at others.                     |
